Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Etihad Guest, the award-winning loyalty programme of Etihad Airways, and MAG Alliances, have announced a new reward initiative whereby every customer from MAG Lifestyle Development (MAG LD), the property development arm of MAG Group Holding, will receive benefits including Etihad Guest Miles and tier status upgrades when purchasing property.

MAG LD and
Etihad Airways have formed a strategic partnership to develop a reward initiative
between a leading real estate developer and a global airline, the first of its
kind in the world.

For every
AED 3 spent by customers when purchasing a MAG Lifestyle Development property, one
Etihad Guest Mile will be earned, which can be redeemed for Etihad Airways flights,
upgrades or even hotel bookings and holiday packages. Etihad’s Reward Shop
showcases a range of over 3,000 leading brands in electronics, fashion and
gifts, all of which can also be redeemed.

Yasser Al
Yousuf, Etihad Airways Vice President Commercial Partnerships, said: “Our
partnership with MAG Lifestyle Development enhances the benefits Etihad Guest offers its members
through Etihad flights to exciting destinations around the world, and a wide
range of non-flight rewards, strengthening
the value of the Etihad Guest Miles currency.”

With
every Guest Mile earned, Etihad Guest members can also move up from Silver to
Gold status, enabling them to unlock a range of exclusive benefits such as
lounge access, priority check-in and extra baggage allowance.

Talal
Moafaq Al Gaddah, CEO MAG Lifestyle Development, added: “We offer an extensive
choice of residences in premium locations providing excellent access to all
lifestyle amenities. Our focus is on adding value to our customers across every
touch point. Through our strategic agreement with Etihad Guest, customers of
MAG Lifestyle Development gain incredible value. This will not only incentivise
customers in the UAE but also international investors who are keen to buy into
our developments for the strong return and rental yield guaranteed.”
